'our Business Is The Business Of Winning"

[HL]

I saw your post below Naminiart.

You addressed the fact that the JFF will be looking abroad for additional talent. I also noticed that the threads that followed-- did not address this fact. The threads attacked you...however subtle.

Idealism is a helluva thing Naminiart.

It is idealism held back Boxhill. It's the same thing that affects 90% of the posters here on this forum when the UB-40 issue comes up...

[Tilla]

I guess I fall into the other 10% when it comes to English born Jamaican players. Notice I avoided the UB-40 tag as I for one do not believe UB -40 is Jamaican as these players are. The group UB-40 as good a set of musician that they are, over the years have borrowed from Jamaican music, but that does not make them Jamaican in any way.

That said, I have no problem with building the best team possible and it does not matter to me where the players are from, as long as they are Jamaicans or of Jamaican origin and are committed to the cause. I know some folks on here and even in the wider Jamaican community believe that we have the necessary talent at home and should not need any player outside the island to be competitive.

Good eye Tilla!!!

It would be (IDEAL) if the entire squad could be 100% home grown.

But in today's business environment, WINNING is at ANY cost.

BTW: who is that Sturridge guy I saw playing for Manchester City?

i hope the good captain does his research and bag him.

That former Reggae BoY Earl could serve as a good recruiter of UB-40's.

Ssssssup Assasin? Everythin kurry?

I'm not sure why you feel it would be ideal for the squad to be 100 % home grown as that sounds very discriminator to Jamaican's born abroad. Memba that Jamaican law states that you are Jamaican if one parent is Jamaican. To mek matters even worse is that you have more Jamaicans abroad than in Jamaican and they help sure up yards economy. Think before you inadvertently disrespect a boat load of people that support yard.

Dread, i think you miss my position on the issue being debated.

Thank you Nami. I have their Best of UB-40 in my CD player in my car right now. Do you know who did that piece of music originally? That was done by one Eric Donaldson in the early 70s. It won the Jamaican Festival Song Competition back in the day.

I have every amount of respect for UB-40, and they have done well to promote Reggae Music giving their own style to the music too. They have worked with some of the best in Jamaican music too. Nami, can you point me to any foreign group like UB-40 who have taken to Soca like UB-40 did to Reggae or as Lucky Dube, Alpha blondie etc, etc?
